Week 6: Texans Game Preparation - Deshaun Watson Set to Start per Aaron Wilson, Adam Schefter, & Ian Rapoport; No Bills on the Injury Report


Recommended Posts

From the Athletic: Aaron Reiss

 

Deshaun Watson’s 'fight my ass off' Mentality is a Risky Proposition for the Texans

Facing second and goal, about 10 yards from the Dallas end zone, Deshaun Watson surveyed the field, found no open receiver and broke the pocket. He escaped for the left pylon and a chance at a score midway through the second quarter.
 
He is returning from an ACL tear, and he could have gained a few yards before stepping out of bounds. Instead, he saw three Cowboys closing in on him and kept sprinting toward the end zone. The trio of Dallas defenders seemed to all collide with him at once, knocking the quarterback out of bounds and onto his butt.
 
“Dallas was very physical, and Deshaun is very physical,” coach Bill O’Brien said. “But obviously those are plays we want to cut down on, and we’re going to work hard to do that moving forward because we know that’s not a sustainable way to play.”

No. No I meant 1990 his 1st season as a Bill. 

 

I’m kidding. I mistakenly corrected someone else’s circa/post in this thread. So I’m making fun of myself.

 

...it amuses me. ?

Don't the Texans only have 1 win, with Watt and Watson back?

That spread seems crazy. Bills defence plays the way it has and the Bills have a chance to wind the game, or atleast easy cover that spread

 

No.  They are 2-3 just like the Bills.

Bills literally have CLOSE TO zero offense, even at home. Thus the line.

The Texans haven't really been a better team though, not enough for a TD favorite.

They beat the Colts and Cowboys, and lost to the Pats, Titans, and Giants

Seems like a pretty generous spread to me also.

if white can slow Hopkins, one would think we put an end to this. 

 

It would help tremendously, but don't sleep on Fuller or Coutee. Watson's ability to run is equally dangerous, although, I suspect if the Bills have to choose, it will be to keep tabs on the receivers, try to slow the run game and make Watson run to win.

Darnold Creating Buzz, More Week 5 News & Notes

 

7. Deshaun Watson is still taking too many hits, and it’s obvious the offensive line won’t be truly fixed in Houston without some reinforcements, but give the Texans staff credit for managing the problem on the fly over the last few weeks. Putting Julien Davenport back at left tackle helped, as did the emergence of Kendall Lamm, who’s now starting at right tackle. And the staff has done its part with chips and doubles, and calls to get the ball out quick. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s better than it was, which is why they’re getting more from Watson and their playmakers.

“First and foremost, he’s a team first guy,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott. “A guy that has been around, whether as a starter or a backup. A lot of football over the years. He’s got a good outlook on the game from an offensive standpoint. He understands defenses. So there’s just a lot of value to it in terms of where we are right now in that quarterback room.

Both GM Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott are wholly familiar with Anderson as a player having spent the better part of six seasons around Anderson. The veteran signal caller served as Cam Newton’s backup with the Panthers organization from 2011 to 2016.

To make room for Anderson on the active roster, the Bills released safety Dean Marlowe.

The Bills also added tight end Keith Towbridge to the practice squad and released cornerback Michael Hunter.

Watson has a chest injury per the Texans' beat reporter Aaron Wilson. 

Just saw that and commented in the other thread.  Thanks.  Little eerie that Vegas gets this info so quickly and much earlier than the rest of us.  Hmmm

I litterally dont think litterally applies once positive offensive yards show up on the stat sheet:)

 

Don't you know, somehow literally means figuratively these days.
